Instructions

Dry-toast the grated coconut in a pan over medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring, until golden.
Melt the palm sugar in the water over low heat to get a thick syrup.
Add the toasted coconut, the glutinous rice flour, the salt and the cardamom to the syrup and mix until you have a firm dough.
Let it cool for 10 minutes, then form walnut-sized balls, pressing them firmly.
Dry-toast the sesame until golden, then roll the balls in it.
Let rest for 10 minutes before serving so the texture sets.
